Testimonial: Lost 20 Pounds!!

“Takedown is my home away from home. Everyone here is very welcoming and supportive and they have become like family to me. I’ve been training at Takedown since it first opened and I absolutely love it. Within two months I lost 20 pounds and I owe it all to Gianfranco. He pushed me to work hard and made sure I never gave up on myself. Taking classes here is like having a personal trainer. I used to attend a regular gym but I wasn’t pushing myself enough to get the results that I wanted. Here at Takedown we workout as a team and help each other to reach our goals. I would recommend Takedown to anyone! Come try it out!” – Elianna Voskakis, Woodbridge, Ontario

Testimonial: Having fun and gaining self-confidence…

“I really like the way that coach and mentor your students to focus on self-protection and to wisely use the Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills you teach for self-protection only and with a sense of duty that is rarely seen in many dojos. I also like the way that you focus on developing the character and leadership of developing young minds. I can see that the character that you help build can benefit schools, home life, later life-skills and society in general. It is easy to see that the students are having fun and gaining self-confidence while learning how to protect themselves. I encourage any parent focused on anti-bullying or leadership skills to enroll their young children in your school. Thank you for the skills you are teaching my son.” – Ross, Woodbridge Ontario
